Creating Your Own Everything VI [No Advertising]

[Manokan Republic]

Yes, social norms like "you should credit JG pixel art you've taken entirely from someone else" are only enforceable through opinion. Blastwaves is unlikely to sue you, nor are the mods likely to take action.

There's no need to examine your "points," since I'm expressing my low opinion of your lazy and thoughtless art-ripping and not arguing with you.

First, I'm not taking credit for it, for myself, so simply copy and pasting a picture on an online forum is not some evil act of intellectual theft. If I find a picture of a gun on wikipedia and post it, I don't need to track down the original person who took the picture and then post a caption underneath the gun the photographer's name, it's overly tedious. The *reason* why you credit an original person is if you are trying to credit as your own, sell it or use it in marketing and so on. Secondly I did credit them, wanting me to credit them even more and demanding that I do it is just over the top ridiculousness. It's trying to demand something out of me that you really have no real control over, because you simply try to pick a fight whenever possible. I suppose next time I should include all their social media, including facebook and twitter names, on top of the various other pseudonyms he's gone by, all just to appease your sensibilities?

It's only stealing art if you copy it and post it somewhere trying to pass it off as your own. I'm not doing that, so crediting is done more so out of formality than anything else. Thankfully I'm not a sociopath so I'm not excessively anal about these sorts of things.

You've ripped enough JG to know how to credit properly.



It's more "overly tedious" to erase this than to leave it there.

all just to appease your sensibilities?

Again, you've ripped enough JG to know proper crediting has nothing to do with my sensibilities.

more so out of formality

In other words, common courtesy.

I'm not excessively anal about these sorts of things.

Hey everybody! Someone who produces nothing original isn't excessively anal about crediting!

You don't have a leg to stand on here. You didn't have to go on some wild goose chase to track down the authors - you removed the credits. This thread is "Creating Your Own Everything," not "Copy-Pasting Everything From Someone Else." When you pop in with an image saying nothing more than "The theory behind this..." and "Paraganian Army," people who aren't familiar with Paragania are going to assume you're an incredibly talented (albeit incredibly monotonous) pixel artist who's drawing the Paraganian Army.

Junior General was made for little kids who don't have problems figuring out how to credit lol.

If you think anyone's being "excessively anal," feel free to report them. I think you'll find the site's owner is much pickier about this than I am.

Might I suggest to Manokan that he try experimenting with naval stuff in shipbucket scale? It's a great way to discover what being, as he puts it, "excessively anal" about pixel art crediting actually means. Unlike the seemingly license agnostic residents of JG, the years of having their use stolen for commercial gain has resulted in the denizens of Shipbucket subscribing religiously to a Creative Commons license and they even hired a golden horde of mongolian lawyers armed with DMCAs to unleash on anyone who violates it.

No, that was Fran of the famous "Lineart, Inc.", which is an organization that exists in the superposition of existence and non-existence and primarily communicates through tachyon transmission.

The Mongolian lawyers were hired by a Thai firm to represent "Franberry" during the dispute of Shipbucket and Statesmanship [2019] SBHC 69, [2019] 8 IP&T 420.

Oh right, I misremembered who employed which legal firms in the greatest legal spat of our times. Pity that it could have all been avoided if the people at SB had just shilled out money for a FRANSCALE Platinum Pro tier license to begin with instead of engaging in such blatant piracy.

Anyway Lynerian service uniforms:



Not going to bother with full annotation. Officers wear gloves when they're carrying swords, enlisted hussars wear silly pillboxes instead of forage caps, only officers get a tropical version, female soldiers have the option of wearing a skirt if they're not bearing arms.

[Triplebaconation]

also



This pattern of experimental service dress was largely the idea of the then-Defense Minister's wife, who felt that a modernized and more contemporary uniform would help attract recruits. Consisting of a taupe forage hat and blazer, a mock turtleneck in regimental or corps colors, green flared trousers, and side-zipping naugahyde ankle boots, the uniform was issued on a trial basis to select troops in 1979. Unfortunately a protracted development period meant it was hopelessly out of date, and wearers reported not only material deficiencies but also merciless mockery from their peers. After ridicule from the press, the uniform was quickly withdrawn after the Queen's equerry arrived in the royal offices sporting the new style.

A random armored vehicle. The idea is that it's really high above the ground for IED's, and it has a split axle so there isn't one axle down the middle. Also it's supposed to be hybrid electric. There are a lot of theoretical advantages but, if a wheel or two gets blown off it can keep going. While I made it to be blocky, it's a little too blocky, and I'm not really sure how to smooth it out. I feel like I need to add depth to it, so it doesn't seem so flat.

I made it from scratch, so no credits necessary.

So is it a portal axle, or is it in-hub electric motor? Also, you may want to make the wheels circles instead of ovals.

I sort of left it openly ambiguous, but the ideal method would be in-hub electric motor, which would also partially explain the 10 wheel vs. standard 8 wheel design. Another reason for this is that the front tires are designed to set off landmines in the front of the vehicle where most of the engine is, and away from most of the infantry in the vehicle. Granted, not all landmines or IED's are pressure sensitive, but that's part of the idea; some are set off by remote control or, infrared and so on. The image got distorted for some reason when I uploaded it, but, the wheels and tires are meant to be slightly oval due to the fact it uses honeycomb airless tires which squish down a lot when you are driving. This also prevents flats as, it doesn't matter if the tires get holes in them or not. They don't look like honeycomb airless tires as the holes are covered up so as not to let debri in. They're still pretty close to being a circle though.

It's actually softer and squishier, with wheels that adjust more readily to the ground, as massive suspension system designed to raise the vehicle above the ground, automatic adjustments via the electric drive train which tends to be a lot smoother, and very squishy tires. The system in my head could be said to be similiar the CV90's hybrid electic system.

two 40mm rocket rounds the top a dumb HE-F and below a more advanced HEAT with a airburst setting based on the XM1049. the image shows the sequence of events during firing, the shell stub with the kicker charge gets the round moving down the barrel and rotating, then after leaving barrel main charge accelerates the round, and finally the main charge drops of as to reduce weight on the payload. Black is the kicker charge, just standard prop, blue is primer, in the kicker its electric and it connects to the pyrotechnical assembly, for the main charge, the fuse is timed to prevent user injury from the back blast. dark red is the solid main propellent, still doing research, yellow with tan stripes is the structure. orange outline with white inside is the exhaust nossels, angled to keep the round rotating during acceleration out of barrel, green and blue is fusing, bottom is programed at muzzel, tan with tan inside is copper jacket for the heat, red with light orange is explosive charge, orange with light orange is part of HEAT based on diagram of xm1049 not sure what tho

Fake Poke'mon are always interesting and I especially appreciate the wordplay involved in "Antarky".

MP-77 "Wasp" Machine Pistol

Caliber: .22 TCM Center fire
Action: Closed Bolt Recoil Operated.
Magazine: 16 or 30 rounds
Firing Mode: Semi, 3 round burst, Full auto
Rate of fire: 850 Rounds per minute
Practical Engagement range: 20 to 80 meters
Effective range: 50 to 150 Meters
Features:Ambidextrous controls, Folding Stock,Adjustable sights, Threaded barrel.

introduced as a personal defense weapon for vehicle crewmen pilots, Security Forces and Special police nits the MP-77 is a compact weapon capable of firing in full auto, semi automatic, and three round bursts. The all steel frame pistol fires a 40 Grain Bullet at 2000 Feet per second generating 350 Ft/lbs of energy rivaling most 9mm pistols.

The high velocity low mass round produces little felt recoil which is efficiently countered by the weight of the pistol allowing for control fire in full auto as well as three round burst modes. The addition of a folding stock gives superior stability in full auto allowing a shooter to suppress targets or score a higher rate of hits with the light round ensuring that a target is disabled, or forced to withdraw from the engagement.

The weapon has an internal bolt and fixed "Slide", unlike many pistols, with an internal striker. All internal parts are made of high strength corrosion resistant metal with a chrome lined barrel and bolt. The recoil operated system fires from a closed bolt for accuracy. a cocking handle on top of the frame can be easily accessed even when the stock is folded and is notched so it does not interfere with the weapons sights.

The weapon is fed from a double stack magazine holding either 16 or 30 rounds feeding though the grip of the weapon. Typically a 16 round is carried in the weapon when holstered and additional 30 round magazines are carried by the shooter in a harness or satchel on their person.

One of the particular traits of the weapon is its report and muzzle flash, which is far greater than most .22 caliber rounds and can be a surprise to first time shooters or bystanders. many users will fit a flash hider or Sound suppressor to the weapon, and a compact can style flash hider available which does not overly reduce the sound of firing merely contain the hot gasses of the muzzle flash to protect the shooters vision in low light and darkness.


these traits make the weapon a rare item in the world of personal fire arms allowing it,
when used by a trained shooter, to be easily carried in a hip, or shoulder holster. Then drawn and fired as quickly and accurately as any semi auto pistol. The shooter also has the option to fire short three round bursts from the holster, allowing for rapid suppression of a target, until he can deploy the stock and switch to the larger magazine to deal with the target in a more deliberate manner. Preferably from cover, and/or in coordination with his comrades.
